Texas—1859

As the Rio Grande Valley reels from the onslaught of Cortina’s Mexican insurgents, a Tejano named Cardoza lays siege to a prominent rancho. Ranger Lin Jarret takes the assignment to ride to the defense, and he’s ready to fight the devil, not babysit pampered heiress Reece Sinclair—no matter how beautiful she is. Reece, however, holds more than one secret close to her breast—secrets shrouded in powder smoke, backed up with lead...and very dangerous for Lin Jarret.

When the Texas borderland explodes in all-out war, Lin Jarret is hurled into battle, his carbine and Colt .44 primed and ready. At his side is the surprisingly deadly Reece, a runaway slave with secrets of his own, and a hell-bending pack of wild shootists primed to kill.

Hellbenders is the first searing adventure in an exciting new Western series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging Plot, Wonderful Characters
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2021

Hellbenders: A Traditional Western Novel by Richard Prosch is a gritty, realistic, engaging western. Lin Jarret is a Texas Ranger who answers the call from a friend to head out to assist a ranch owner, the lovely Reece Sinclair, who is in the midst of a violent property dispute. The story takes off from there, when almost immediately the protagonist is brought into the conflict.
Prosch as a writer, offers the reader a focused sense of place in location and history, and it is with these talents that the author takes what appears at first to be a story about a land dispute and expand it into something more. What I loved about this particular book, and for me it is the staple of any good western novel, are the characters. Where other writers might front load them into the story, Prosch, with a confident talent, introduces characters as the plot calls them to organically come forth. This unveiling allows the reader to enjoy the unfolding story line at a pace that keeps said reader fully engaged with the story line.
I look forward to the second book in this series. If you love a classic western, with familiar themes, steeped in a sense of history, with the inclusion of memorable characters, then I recommend Hellbenders.

Southwest Texas is in flux with properties changing hands, often by illegal means, cattle nudging out sheep some folks.operating an underground railroad and others joining a precursor of the KKK. Author Prosch depicts.a blended culture of Mexican and Anglo. He also creates strong characters. especially Texas Ranger Lin Garret, ranch heiress Reece Sinclair and sidekick Stick. The action. scenes are fantastic. The text would have benefited with more careful editing. In some instances. dialog and thoughts attributed toone character obviously belonged to anothet. Also, "reign" was misused in place of "rein "

I spent my younger years growing up on a farm raising cattle, hogs, chickens, horses, and big gardens. After a long day I spent my time reading Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour. Richard Prosch has a style of writing that combines the details of story like Grey and the rough gunslinger like L'Amour with a nice addition of justice and righteousness.
This book does all these things and reminds me of days long gone but not forgotten as I relax in the evenings after a long day.

5.0 out of 5 stars When Lin Jarret’s uncle asked him to help out his friend, he couldn’t know he would find love!

Richard Prosch – Hellbenders Bk 1 – Hellbenders – Reviewed 8/26/21 – Read 8/24/21

Lin Jarret’s uncle asked him if he would go and help out one of his old friends down in the Rio Grande Valley, so he headed that way. Arriving in the area of the ranch he heard a girl cry out, riding that way he finds several men and a woman that are castrating and treating a few head of cattle. They were trying to put one of the calves in a chute so they could treat his eye. But due to his size, they were having a tough time and the calf was winning. Lin dropped down to help and the calf got the care he needed, then they let him join the others. As they finished up one of the men called out her name, Reese Sinclair, warning her to be careful, well she just happened to be the daughter of the man that he was looking to help out. Removing his gloves, he told her that he was pleased to meet her, and he introduced himself, but before she could speak a line of seven men pushed through the tree toward them shooting off their guns. Lin made sure that he covered her.

The seven men were all riding red stallions with expensive tack, and dressed to the nines, with leather dusters, throwing reatas in wide loops in the sky. Grabbing Reese, they mounted his horse, and he pulled the short barrel Maynard that he was carrying. The men started pulling down the corral posts. The newcomers were stirring up the cattle to make them run. Reese’s men were doing their darndest the deal with the men, but they were on the ground. Reese reacted to this and turned Lin’s horse around going right into the middle of the stampeding cattle, the horse reared, dumping Lin on his butt. Diving to get out of the way, losing his rifle, he rolled right under one of the intruders. He pointed his gun at Lin but before he could shoot one of Reese’s vaqueros jumped him, knocking him to the ground, and with his razor-sharp castrating knife dispatched him. With more action going including obscene gestures and remarks to Reese, she was told by the leader that she had one week to vacate the area. Even when Lin told them he was a Texas Ranger, he was told he better leave with Reese and her father.

Join Lin and Reese as Lin learns what the problems of the ranch are and what they wanted him to do…

What did I like? I was certainly interested when I found out what part of the problem was at the ranch and how in reality it certainly did happen back in 1829. It is such a fascinating story of how it all came about and those that were involved with it. I don’t want to give away the book, so I am going to just leave this as a teaser. When you finish, I suggest that you look up the accounts and read the history of this event.

What will you like? Other than what I have mentioned above, you are going to find one heck of a storyline that is filled with intrigue, corruption, deceit, gunplay, owlhoots, Native Americans, and a touch of romance. The characters are remarkable and noteworthy. If you are like me, you will find this is truly a thought-provoking storyline that will grab you in the beginning and won’t let go till you discover the mystery at the end. I know it hit me and I read the whole thing in one day, even with life rearing its annoying head! This is just the beginning of the series, and I can’t wait for book two which will be out next month, till then enjoy Richard Prosch’s new book “Hellbenders” available NOW!!!
